A mind boggling strategy... please play devil's advocate and explain

[@bsolute_luck]

i don't play 10/20, but i don't like giving trash better odds to suckout on me plus my style is more aggressive so i like to raise and have them not know if i have a good or bad hand than raise with junk and limp with good.

too many times i get fancy with AK/AA and such and the SB/BB who would have folded their weak hand suddenly catch enough to hang on and river a hand that beats me [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Oh one exception to reraising is when your in the SB and there is a bunch of callers already and a raise to your left. I think its a better play and usually all check to the raiser who will bet, now you raise isolating him from the others if you hit. If you don't, EEEEEzzzzz fold.

In certain games you should limp with AKs in EP some of the time.

Cold-calling with AK or AKs as a regular part of your strategy has to very bad. There are probably times to do it, but you need a specific reason.

Most people who cold-call witht these hands will cold-call with many other hands.

You can assume that live 10/20 plays very similar to 2/4 or 3/6 online (but looser and worse [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]).

It is +EV, but there is another way to play which is more +EV.

I'd say the break down for live players is like this:

3% = Deception
97% = AK is a drawing hand/fold for one bet on missed flops/flick cards and show others while mucking/watch the next flop and point out how NOW an Ace or King came/They SSCKY

I think that is pretty accurate....
